Re-incarnation seems like the way to go......The Msasa Tree is related to an elephant. I will return as a tree.

  "My Tree Cousin" 24 January 2014   "Wardrobe in Paradise" 24 January 2014 Since being here in Harare the thing that strikes me most about the country...is not the slanting lifeless street lights...nor the stories of politicians pockets being as deep as the potholes in the roads....but the trees. I think I am related to them, they are my cousins. Somehow, in this life I ended up human....hence the holding of my mothers hand as she eats her porridge as her decline progresses. What I trust will happen in my next life is......I will return as a Msasa Tree........if that can't be arranged, at least an Olive Tree........or........just to be pretty..........a common Myrtle Bush.

.....wrong bulb...moon beams and......sparsely rage roseberry and grime...karaoke in paradise.

  "Road Craft_Shawasha Hills" 16 January 2014 I held my mothers hands for the first time in 60years. I sang her songs and managed to get her to clap in time. She joined in singing as well. I showed her how to rotate her wrists and ankles, grasp two fingers tightly and then relax. She smiled and laughed singing  about the dog in the window...the one with the waggly tail.  We have agreed that "a song a day keeps the blues away"........and.....time takes a cigarette.

...whew...another rough day in paradise
